Every year, people come together to celebrate Thanksgiving. This family-oriented holiday is best known for its food and drinks.
One of the best cocktails that you could serve at this time is the Pear and Ginger-Sage Champagne Cocktail! They are so delicious, especially when served in a stemless wine glass with a slice of pear on top.
Ingredients
1 cup Honey
3 cups Water
2 Whole pears, peeled, cored, and diced
1 Large chunk of ginger, peeled and diced
20 fresh sage leaves
1 Bottle of champagne
Directions
First, you need to make the syrup. In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine honey and water. Stir occasionally until mixture reaches boiling point.
Add the pears, ginger, and sage leaves. Simmer until the mixture has reduced by 1/3. About 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let the mixture steep for an additional 10 minutes.
Strain the syrup into a large mason jar. Discard the ginger and sage leaves.
To assemble the drinks place a few pieces of the cooked pear into each glass followed by 1-2 tablespoons of the simple syrup. Add the champagne and enjoy.
